Moving brain hypothesis

Moving Brain Hypothesis enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Gerd Kempermann (submission 91), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Gerd Kempermann's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

AD is the breakdown of an equilibrium poised at criticality between the needs and reserves of the moving brain and the demands of the world. The 'moving brain' concept posits that brains evolved for movement and navigation, and lifestyle-driven decreases in AD incidence prove that understanding AD requires understanding it as a complex, life-course condition tied to physical and cognitive activity.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: compensatory paradigm 6 · neuroimmune interface 5 · ApoE4 hub 3 · transcriptional / epigenetic 3 · cytoskeletal collapse 2 · endosomal nexus 1.

Its declared subject matter: preclinical-social-deficits, lifestyle-microglial-priming, early-behavioral-phenotypes, moving-brain, lifestyle, exercise, complexity, causality-network, omnigenic, prevention, life-course.

Named by the same submission

5 other concepts enter the corpus through the same paper, so they cover adjacent ground: Equilibrium at criticality · Lifestyle as causal anchor · Omnigenic AD architecture · Lifestyle Microglial Modulation · Preclinical Phase Activity.

Assembled from the corpus rather than written: the summary is quoted from the submission that named it; the node scores are read from its dossier. It has not yet been expanded into an article.
